Rakatan Colonies

The Rakatan Colonies, also collectively known as Rakatan Space were a collection of interstellar territories in the western Galaxy under the control of the Rakata from 49,814 BBY until 36,797 BBY, when the Infinite Empire was founded.

History
The Colonies were retained by the the Rakata Interstellar Government which had survived the destruction of the League of the Six Kingdoms at the hands of the Celestials, and returned to the Rakata homeworld of Rakata Prime after the departure of the Celestials and Khoboka from that planet.

The Rakata Interstellar Government had very limited hyperdrive capability, and fear of the Celestials discouraged most scientists from attempting to develop new technology. The Colonies existed in some form for over 12 millenia, until the Celestials disappeared from the Galaxy and the Rakata developed new hyperdrive technology with the help of the Kwa.
